I've installed the patch below, which should fix your problem (note
that the interpretation of the `millisec' argument has changed since
Emacs-21 where it was a microseconds count).

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Note: I reported that bug yesterday for an intermediary pre 22.2
version. The same problem occurs in 22.2 and is incompatible with
previous versions:
C-x C-e the following two expressions
(progn
(setq my-process
(start-process "mine" "mine" "sleep" "1h"))
(list-processes))
(accept-process-output my-process nil 400)
We create a process mine, that sleeps for an hour.
accept-process-output will hang, whereas it should return after 400
milliseconds. However, if argument SECONDS is replaced by 0 it will
eval as expected.
